1st reports on the new 2015 GM p/u's

thnx for the quick reply. GM's sure making this decision hard for me. I've just about compared vehicles to death. The 1500 w/ the Max Towing pkg looks like it's winning out. Esp now after hearing the 3.73 isn't avail in a 2500HD. Regardless of what GM says about the towing capabilities of their trucks IF you subtract the GVWR (curb weight plus payload) of the trucks from the GCWR (combined weight of truck & tow) of the trucks you get the real "max weight" that the truck can haul. the 2500 HD is 20500-9300=11,200. The 1500 w/ (Max towing pkg)is 17700-7200=10,500. The HD truck wins hands down in the payload of the bare truck, but as far as towing (which is my concern mostly), there hardly seems to be a diff. 700 lbs is all. And the details on the max towing pkg that I can find & read for the 1500, looks like it includes everything that makes up a 2500HD. Except for the 1700 lb payload increase of the 2500HD, I'm finding it hard to justify the HD and its 4.10 rear end. Pls somebody, tell me what I'm missing. (I am assuming I am missing a lot) thnx again everyone. Love the feedback & info. This forum sure seems like it has a nicer , easier going bunch of guys than some of the "truck forums".
